@jimr9999us WOTLK ran 128 day beta. Cata ran 160 day beta
I feel like Cata had more content to test, due to world revamp. I was guesting July 31st or Aug 7 without any data, but this is right in line with that. 128 days after today puts us with July 31st as the closest Tuesday. I'm sure there are a dozen different factors that decide a launch date, of course, but June seems too early from a historical standpoint.
If its July 31st, that means patch 4.3 will have been live for 245 days. 8 months of the same patch.
@Kerbion Ilum continued the story at 50 - the real problem behind a quest at 50 model is we blow through questing so fast. Even if they spent months developing a full planet full of 12 hours of questing... We're done in what? A week if played casually? Thats a lot of development time for minimal payoff, imo.
@MtthwRddl It says on the website. I felt disappointed with my DDE of TOR, and i feel this has even less. A minipet, three single use items, and an elite skill that summons a unique wolf pet. I feel like the DDE is giving me 3 items from the cash shop, a unique variant of an in game skill, and a minipet for $20? Think i'll pass on this one, unless I've missed something.
@johnvonhugendong As of right now, the day right after Mass Effect 3 launch, there is 1 Very Heavy, 7 Heavy Servers, an uncountable number of standard servers (cause I'm lazy, mostly), and 18 light servers on the US Side of things.
Since there was over 100 servers last I knew, that means we're at somewhere over 75 standard pop servers.

Mar 20th 2012 8:50PM (Massively)The only thing I remember about it was it was getting mats was a burden and once you had them, it was a the same as every mmo.
But that was JTLS days, maybe things changed.
